Honda A/C Recharge Service

A/C & Refrigerant Maintenance

Air conditioning relies on pressurized refrigerant to cool hot air. There are many components needed for the system to work properly, and the system must remain closed to retain the refrigerant. A/C refrigerant can escape from microscopic pores, worn lines, and faulty connections. If the refrigerant escapes, more must be added for the air conditioning to work properly. A/C recharge service adds more refrigerant as needed to support effective air cooling. The telltale sign of needing to recharge refrigerant is hot air blowing from the vents with the A/C on max cool.

A/C System Inspection

An A/C inspection can verify low refrigerant and the cause. A certified technician begins by inspecting the system for leaking refrigerant. Components allowing refrigerant to escape must be repaired before adding refrigerant. The compressor is inspected to verify if the clutch engages. Refrigerant is needed for the clutch to engage. If it does not engage, this is a mechanical indicator of low refrigerant.

Don’t Try This at Home

We know about the do-it-yourself recharge kits available at the parts store. This might seem like a good idea, but rest assured, there are big risks for trying this at home. Working on a pressurized system with multiple ports is risky. Installing the wrong refrigerant will cause damage. These kits also have analog pressure readings that cannot restore specifications precisely.

Certified Honda A/C Recharge Service Overview

We perform the service according to certified Honda standards using a computerized A/C recharge station. The equipment connects to the air conditioning system to measure the volume of refrigerant within. It also allows us to check for leaks as new refrigerant is added. If a leak is found, we will provide the repairs needed to restore integrity. We can then add the refrigerant necessary to restore cold-air production to specifications.
